The act of centering stories and voices previously silenced, moved to the margins, or removed from the community. The act of truth-listening is an act of narrative reconciliation and healing.
Truth-listening is itself an act of healing relationships between marginalized people and the structures, systems, and powers that previously failed to honor the image of God in them.
Voice is a critical component of human dignity. Truth-listening affirms the voices of the previously silenced.
But how do we learn to practice truth-listening?
We have a public-memory document available in the Bible, and there are multiple stories where we see truth-listening at work. Come along as we delve into examples of truth-listening in scripture and then discuss how we can move that into our contexts.
Truth-listening is a concept from Lisa Sharon Harper’s book Fortune: How Race Broke my Family and the World—and How to Repair it All. Join us on this webinar, and let’s unpack what this sacred practice can do for our world.
